Bruce County is supporting about 27 households with the municipal Housing Allowance.
The program enhances housing security and helps vulnerable residents maintain their rental units. It offers a housing allowance of $590.00 per month, which is paid directly to approved tenants. Bruce County’s Municipal Housing Allowance program is currently available until March of 2023 and may continue depending on funding.
“Housing Allowances are a practical way to provide affordable housing more rapidly, as the County continues to explore opportunities to build new affordable units. Bruce County’s rent supplement and housing allowance programs are a valuable resource for social assistance recipients, low-income earners, and seniors in our region,” said Tania Dickson, Housing Services Manager.
“Bruce County is committed to planning, delivering, and advocating for responsive services that help individuals and families enhance their level of participation and quality of life in our communities. Bruce County strives to provide accessible services that remove barriers and create opportunities,” said Bruce County Warden Janice Jackson.
